eBrands Holdings is an international brand house that works as an operating system and infrastructure for global commerce. The company sells both its own products and those of its partners, primarily in the US, Canadian, and European markets.
eBrands manages all sales and import responsibilities, including payment processing, taxation, logistics, and marketplace management. This allows partner brands to focus purely on their core business and growth.
The collaboration between eBrands and Grants has spanned several years. During this time, they have successfully secured funding instruments such as Business Finland’s Talent and GenAI grants.
Proactive project management
Dennis Roikonen, CFO of eBrands, highlights the absolute ease of the service as the core benefit of the long-term partnership. Active application projects move forward smoothly under the supervision of Grants’ expert, Mikko Hölli.
From eBrands’ perspective, the application processes require minimal effort. They only need to answer the expert’s questions and manage their own core operations, while the Grants expert takes care of the application’s content and finalization.
“The ease of working with Grants comes from their proactive project management. Projects progress without putting an extra workload on us. We just handle our part, and Mikko takes care of the rest and drives the process forward.”

Mapping out the right funding opportunities
A major advantage of a long-term partnership is that Grants knows the company’s business well. This allows them to proactively suggest upcoming funding opportunities. Roikonen notes that he has recommended Grants’ services to many companies, stating that the service fits both small and large businesses, regardless of the industry.
“We wouldn’t have the capacity to stay up to date on all available funding opportunities. Grants knows the shifting funding instruments exceptionally well and helps us build a continuous funding path. This significantly lightens our workload, and I have recommended them to many other companies.”
